I believe that forge & anvil is the best way to fashion a lasting blade.   I prefer to make Pattern welded blades, also called Damascus, with metals capable of making very good blades by themselves, not just choosing steels by looks.

I am a Blacksmith and Bladesmith. I do not stamp out knives, nor do I have a prodution line.  Its a very personal thing for me.   I want to feel the steel taking form under my hammer, and to smell the coal burning.

Many blades by others are made with special machines stamping out 100's or more identical pieces at a time, or make knives by a process known as 'Stock removal', which is cutting the shape out of metal and grinding until it looks like a knife. This is not quite my idea of the best in knife making.  I believe that forge & anvil is the best way to fashion a quality blade. 

Are you tired of re-sharpening a blade every time you wish to use it because the budget blade won't hold an edge?   Or annoyed at having the exact same blade and handle as everyone else?   If you are looking for a quality hand forged knife, one that you would be proud to show off, or even hand forged working sword, you are in the correct place for some of the best in hand made damascus steel.


Prices depend on style, size, hardware and exotic woods used. We make custom blades, from simple to complex laminate steel, called pattern welded steel.   I have only a few blades for general sale at any given time, as most are made as custom orders.
 
Feel free to browse the pictures of some of the blades I have made, as well as a few I am reselling for others.   Only blades made by us here in Fort Wayne Indiana, will have 'Fenris Forge' stamped on them. On our site, you will find knives for the kitchen, recreation's of blades from earlier times, damascus billets, and preformed knife blanks that you can finish on your own.
